At the NGO House we rent out office spaces for small NGOs as well as conference rooms for different types of organizations, political parties and businesses. So if you need a space for your next meeting, conference or workshop in the middle of Copenhagen, then this is the place.

Globalhagen Hostel takes pride in being non-profit, eco-friendly and volunteer-driven. The rooms are decorated in themes of the countries where Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke / ActionAid Denmark works and the hostel is located in the heart of Nørrebro – one of the most vibrant parts of the city.

Café Mellemrummet is a non-profit café and bar located right below the Globalhagen Hostel. The café hosts events that range from stand-up comedy and live concerts to talks and debates about feminism, racism and solidarity. We offer organic and fair trade products as well as a chance to meet people from around the world.

Globalhagen is just one part of the NGO, Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke / ActionAid Denmark, which fights to strengthen human rights and solidarity in more than 45 countries across the world. All the profits from the café, hostel and house go to this work and to a specific development project chosen by the volunteers.

The hostel and the café is largely run by volunteers from across the world who dedicate their time to make the place run smoothly They manage everything from choosing the beer we sell to the planning of events and the decoration of the café. It’s their home away from home.

You can become an intern at the Globalhagen office. An internship can be focused on hostel administration & service management, volunteer coordination, communication & campaign or project development with the possibility of combining either of these to fit your internship needs and skills.

GLOBALHAGEN SUPPORTS SPECIFIC PROJECTS

Every two years all of Globalhagen’s volunteers vote to collectively decide on a project that they want Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke ActionAid Denmark to support. Currently, we are supporting Global Platform’s project in El Salvador.

Global Platform’s project is run by a team of local volunteers, who are engaging with marginalised youth all throughout the country via a re-purposed bus, to ensure that more people are reached. The travelling training unit will empower people to participate in social change and stand up for their rights, whilst also teaching them essential skills to enable them to express their ideas and take action.

Previous projects include a political engagement programme in Lusuka, Zambia from 2016. Volunteers constructed computer labs and a volunteer café similar to Mellemrummet.
